Auto accident damages house

By Gail Callahan

lgail4kidsire@burlingtontelecom.net BRISTOL - The Bristol Police Department officials are describing a scenario that left a local house with several thousand dollars in damages just after midnight Nov. 1.

Bristol P.D. said that Edward Lafayette, 20, failed to stop for law enforcement officers on Halloween, taking off and driving down Hewitt Road. According to police, Lafayette, driving at a high rate of speed, lost control of the vehicle on Hewitt Road; he crashed into the house shortly after midnight Saturday morning.

The house, located on Route 116, sustained about $5,000 in damages.

The driver of the car was taken to the hospital and now faces charges stemming from the incident: driving under the influence, excessive speed and negligent operation.

Lafayette hadn’t been scheduled for arraignment during the early part of this week. No additional information was available, according to an Addison County Court spokesperson.

Pittsford woman stopped

RUTLAND — On Oct. 13, troopers from the Vermont State Police Rutland barracks conducted a motor vehicle stop on River Street in Rutland City.

Vermont vets honored with memorial

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com RUTLAND — For the first time, Vermont Korean War veterans are now receiving a special place of honor which began in earnest last year. This year marks the 61th anniversary of the longest military cease fire in history.

This Veterans Day, you’ll find Vermont Korean War veterans and their families visiting the plain, native stone memorial—inscribed with the words, “Freedom is not free”—in Main Street Park (U.S. Route 7).

The Korean War monument, which was dedicated last year, honors fallen and living service members of the United Nations “police action” of the 1950s. The monument stands at the opposite end of the park from the city’s Vietnam War memorial.

While the Korean War ended in 1953, the armistice between the parties involved is considered to be a cease-fire agreement only and not an actual peace treaty.

United Nations forces included 178,426 dead and 32,925 missing. Approximately 2.5 million civilians were killed and wounded.

North Korea claims it was the victor of the conflict.

Officers and members of American Legion and Veterans of Foreign War posts, and other veteran groups including the Vermont Korean Veterans organization, are responsible for up- A native stone memorial, located in Rutland’s Main Street Park, honors service members of the Korean War. keep of the monument.

KILLINGTON — If they’re making snow, then it must be ski season. And that’s exactly what happened at Killington Resort, the largest four-season resort east of the Mississippi River this week. The resort opened officially Monday, Nov. 3, for the 201415 Winter Season.

On the first day, Killington Season Pass and Express Card holders enjoyed draft specials all day at the Peak Lodge, plus complimentary hors d’oeuvres.

Killington’s mountain operations team kept the focus on winter ever since the last lift chair came down the peak back in May. The resort has been busy making major improvements with upgrades to snowmaking, lifts, signage and trails.

Nearly 400 new low-energy snow guns joined Killington’s mountainside force this year for an anticipated 10 percent reduction in compressed air usage.

To help fill out staffing needs for the new season, Killington will host the Killington Job Fair, Saturday, Nov. 8, noon-3 p.m. at the Ramshead Lodge.

Full time and part time-seasonal, both indoor and outdoor jobs, are available at the resort.

MIDDLEBURY — On Thursday, Nov. 13, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., the students of the Aurora Middle School will be giving the first tours of the nature trail and outdoor classroom that they have designed.

The one mile trail is in Means Woods and is accessible from the Seminary Street Extension and Peterson Terrace Trail Around Middlebury parking lots. The tours are open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. “I am excited to teach people about our woods and give them tours,” Xavier Wyncoop, an eighth grader at Aurora Middle School explained when asked about his favorite part of the trail design project.

The seventh and eighth graders have spent this fall designing an educational nature trail and outdoor classroom just off the Trail Around Middlebury in Means Woods.

The students have been pruning, raking and clearing the trail and outdoor classroom space all fall with the help and guidance of MALT executive director Carl Robinson and Aurora School teacher Danielle Levine.

Clarification

By Lou Varricchio

In part one of a recent two-part Eagle interview with Doug Tolles about New Haven solar projects, we noted “thousands of acres” of land will be used for Vermont solar and wind power projects by 2050. The estimate as we stated is meant to reflect a statewide figure and not for the Town of New Haven alone. Also, the year cited as Montpelier’s green energy goal is 2050, not 2025 as we published. We regret any confusion.

Guide book explores 10,000 year old Brandon ice caves

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com BRANDON — When the Eagle first announced the discovery of a network of socalled ice caves on the slopes of Mt. Horrid in Brandon Gap in 2007, the Vermont Cavers Association was quick to complain that the news would attract inexperienced cavers to the area.

But now the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, with a published guide book, titled “Vermont Caves: A Geologic and Historical Guide,” by Peter Quick. The book provides information and maps about the newest caves to be discovered in Vermont.

The Mt. Horrid caves are located amid giant metamorphic boulders and fallen conifer snags on the north side of Route 73 in Brandon Gap below the mountain’s summit 3,216 feet above sea level.

Vermont spelunkers Quick, John Keough and Rick Pingree set out to rediscover the caves on Sept. 20, 2007, as members of a Vermont Cavers Association exploratory team. The expedition was first reported in the October 2007 issue of the VCA Newsletter. The Eagle reported the disovery a few days later.

Ice caves—technically known as talus or tectonic caves— are not formed like familiar solution caves found in limestone. Instead, they are the deep crevasses created between massive boulders. The boulders tumble down rockstrewn (talus) mountain slopes as the result of

landslides triggered by frost or earthquake action and assisted by gravity.

So-called ice caves can retain winter ice accumulations well into the spring or summer.

Ground water seeps into the perpetually dark caves and then freezes. The Mt. Horrid caves were probably formed more than 10,000 years ago.

The ice cave complex was first explored by spelunker Robert W. Carroll, Jr. beginning in the 1970s and then forgotten.

Carroll is credited with naming the complex of caves: Mt. Horrid Ice Cave, Gargantua Cave, Slanting Cave, and Chiller Cave. The caves range from modest to large in size; they consist of narrow passage ways and extend up to several hundred feet in length.

Carroll’s notes were made in the days before GPS (Global Positioning System) units. Now cavers can use handheld GPS units, linked to Earth-orbiting navigation satellites, to accurately locate the latitude and longitude of cave entrances to within inches of accuracy.

After Carroll, few cavers bothered to bushwhack and scale the massive boulder field below Mt. Horrid in order to locate the caves.

Thus, the caves remained “lost” until VCA spelunkers reread Carroll’s notes and set out to rediscover them.

Warning: The caves are located near Great Cliff within the Green Mountain National Forest in Brandon Gap. However, access to the cave area is across private property and therefore il-

How a Pa. DA is threatening my friend’s free speech

N

o one deserves what Bill Villa and his wife Angie have had to endure since the defining evening of March 24, 2006.

I’ve known Bill, who lives in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, since elementary school and while we were never best friends, we have managed to keep in touch over the years, now via Facebook.

When I heard about how Bill and his wife were being put through the ringer, both personally and professionally, since 2006, I felt powerless in what I could do to help as an old school friend, far removed from what’s happening.

On the night of March 24, 2006--on the occasion of Bill’s daughter Sheena’s 25th birthday--a politically wellconnected drunk driver snuffed out her life.

Sheena was an intelligent, vibrant, and promising young woman. I can’t imagine how the Villas endured her loss.

Sheena was a passenger in a car driven by drunk driver Robert LaBarre, the son of a prominent Allentown, Pa., attorney who is a partner in a law firm that represents both the city’s only newspaper, and, on at least one documented occasion, according to Bill, the county’s district attorney—Robert LaBarre’s prosecutor. The law firm’s principal partner, a Democrat, sits on the Republican district attorney’s reelection campaign fundraising committee.

Bill says that in a local TV newscast, the district attorney himself admitted that Sheena and another passenger had “cautioned” LaBarre to slow down. But, in the record, the Allentown P.D. crash reconstruction showed that LaBarre had ignored their warnings (he never braked) and he crashed, airborne, into a tree on the other side of the road at a minimum speed of 85 mph on a 35 mph residential street.

Following Sheena’s death, Bill mounted a heroic attempt to bring the drunk driver to justice.

Eventually, Bill told me, with so many people watching, LaBarre had no recourse but to plead guilty to vehicular homicide while DUI and he was sentenced to five-and-a-half to 12 years in state prison.

But Bill believed Lehigh County (Pa.) District Attorney James B. Martin had played favorites in the case from the start— albeit unsuccessfully, thanks to Bill’s vigilance.

And Bill has been telling his fellow citizens about it ever since at his website, Lehigh Valley Somebody, and on Facebook.

This year, Bill made 11 guest appearances on the Bobby Gunther Walsh Show on News Radio station WAEB 790 in Allentown to talk about Sheena’s death and the DA’s alleged mishandling of the case.

In a Sept. 16 article in Philadelphia’s Legal Intelligencer, Max Mitchell wrote about what happened next: “A critic of the Lehigh County (Pa.) district attorney has been asked by a lawyer for the DA not to destroy documents related to statements the critic made on a talk radio program… The letter did not say whether Martin intended to file a defamation suit or was considering any further legal action. It did, however, use the phrase ‘multiple false and defamatory statements’ to describe assertions apparently made by Villa… The letter requested Villa to preserve documents that were in use at any time after March 24, 2006, which was the day of the accident that resulted in the death of Villa’s daughter.”

The Aug. 1, 2014 letter from powerhouse Philadelphia law firm Sprague & Sprague did not cite any specific examples of Bill’s alleged “defamation.”

Since then, Bill says, the radio station has kept him out of the studio; he’s not been invited back. Turns out the station manager and parent company received similar “threatening” letters from Sprague & Sprague and DA James B. Martin, too.

Pretty scary stuff coming from an elected official, if you ask me. And what’s most scary is that an elected official can muzzle a critic with the mere threat of a lawsuit, without having to cite any specific examples of wrongdoing. Seems like some new laws are in order here to prevent these kinds of shenanigans.

And while it’s not every day that a district attorney has this kind of reaction to a private citizen, a crime victim— and grieving father—for telling his daughter’s story on the radio, the local news media in Bill’s area has not published or broadcast a single word about DA Martin’s “defamation” lawsuit threat—curiously, mum’s been the word. Now that’s really scary.

“DA Martin wants to shut me up,” Bill told me last week, “he’s up for reelection next year.”

So far, Martin’s plan isn’t working, according to the Pennsylvania news. Max Mitchell’s exposé in the Legal Intelligencer has attracted the attention of not only this paper, but other out-of-town media who are speaking with Bill.

“I think my best defense is to stay on the offensive and continue to expose DA Martin,” Bill says, “regionally or nationally, since the locals won’t do it.”

After learning about what Bill’s doing to defend himself, my earlier feeling of powerlessness has passed. He knows exactly what to do.

Keep on fighting, brother Bill.

Looking at solar energy

L

ast month 400,000 people gathered on the streets of New York City to call for action on global warming from world leaders, and it’s no surprise that Vermonters turned out in force. Climate change is already hitting home here in Vermont. Tropical Storm Irene significantly damaged or destroyed the homes of nearly 1,500 Vermont families, and cost the state nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars. Extreme storms now occur nearly twice as frequently in Vermont as they did in the middle of the last century, and are more severe. Recent research shows that trend only getting worse.

We owe it to our kids to protect them from this increasingly destructive weather, and that means doing what we can to address global warming before it’s too late. To cut our carbon pollution, Vermont has set a goal of getting 90 percent of its total energy - heating, transportation, and electricity - from clean, renewable sources by 2050. Until now, Vermonters have mostly gotten our power from sources that were out of sight and out of mind. Now that we’re starting to make progress towards that goal, we’re seeing clean energy built in every corner of the state. For some, that has caused concern.

Electricity – especially clean electricity – is a statewide public good, and we should treat it as such. When a Vermonter flicks a light switch, they know their lights will turn on. After all, we live in a developed country. The power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure that makes that possible extends beyond the borders of any single town or county. Decisions about this system – which benefits the state as a whole and everyone in it – need to be made by an entity that has a perspective broader than any one town or regional planning commission could.

That, ultimately, is why the Public Service Board reviews energy projects. If a new power line to your town was needed to ensure you and your neighbors continued to have reliable electricity, you wouldn’t want another town to be able to stop that project.

None of that is to say we shouldn’t have a conversation about ways to improve the siting and permitting process. That conversation, though, has to be grounded in the facts. Towns depend on statewide energy infrastructure for power generation, transmission, and distribution, and we need to achieve our clean energy goals to address global warming.

That’s why I was disappointed to see terms like “solar invasion”, “D-Day”, and “ground zero” used by the Eagle in last week’s “New Haven selectman says town is being cut out of solar-power process,” in addition to two significant factual errors. Our newspapers should be setting an example by looking at issues objectively, not using hyperbole evoking WWII. That kind of rhetoric is counter-productive to civil discourse and isn’t going to result in a more participatory process. I hope the Eagle will approach this issue more productively in the future.

Letters to the editor

Right-wing newspaper To the editor: I am compelled to write regarding the interview with a New Haven select board member on the front page of the October 25 issue of The Eagle. Like other Eagle articles about solar power in recent months, the introduction to the interview is biased and inaccurate (e.g., “projects that will transform formerly green fields and other agricultural lands into thousands of acres of glittering glass panels within the coming new year”; “Why has New Haven been targeted?” “…the people…are superfluous in this literal power grab” [my italics for emphasis]). While it is fine to quote Doug Bolles and put his opinions on paper, it is unprofessional for the author of a story purported to be news to interject his own views.

The main complaint being made about SunCommon’s project is that the community was not consulted and their views not taken into account. Yet on page 2 of the same issue, Varicchio notes without a hint of frustration or emotion that the Public Service Board has decided to allow Vermont Gas to go ahead with its pipeline “without further scrutiny.”

(Although Vermont Gas is lobbying hard to sell its project as “good for Vermont,” the company has planned all along to push the pipeline through people’s back yards regardless of their objections.) The discrepancy in Varicchio’s attitude toward these two projects is not only obvious, but ironic, given that the gas pipeline represents a much more dire threat to the citizens of Vermont than any solar project. It is clear that Lou Varicchio (who seems to write this paper singly handedly) is carrying on a personal vendetta against SunCommon in particular and against solar power in general.

The complaint that the public was not informed or consulted is especially ironic when one considers that The Eagle is guilty of the same crime. I never asked for it, but I have been receiving The Eagle in my mailbox for a long time. I got so tired of the biased, right-wing, unprofessional nature of the writing that I called the paper and said I did not wish to receive it. I was told that there was no way I could unsubscribe; the paper goes to everyone with a mailing address, whether they like it or not. Perhaps Mr. Varicchio should practice what he preaches, and—if he wants to be taken seriously—do a lot less preaching.

Louise Watson Monkton EditorÕ s response: These problems are far, far deeper than kidswith-guns. What is going on in American families, in our popular culture? In pop music? In video games? In movies? On T.V.? On the Internet? And especially in politics?

Students win in 4-H horse contests

Vermont was host to the New England 4-H Horse Contests held last week to help 4-Hers prepare for national competition.

The day-long event at Mount Anthony High School in Bennington and Bonnie Lea Farm in Massachusetts, (horse judging) served as practice for Vermont 4-H club members who will compete next month at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup in Louisville, Kentucky, an event that attracts competitors from 30 states. The competition was open to 4-H’ers from all six New England as well as New York and New Jersey.

In the communications contests, Kyle Scott of Milton placed fourth in public speaking. Holly Weglarz of Hartland was third in individual demonstration while Morgan Quimby, Underhill, and Ashley Scott, Milton, took second in team demonstration.

Vermont had two teams competing in the horse judging, quiz bowl and hippology contests. The A Team in each event consisted of the 4-H’ers who will compete at Roundup in Kentucky this November. The B Teams include individuals who placed high at various state horse events but who were not selected to represent Vermont at Roundup this year.

In the horse judging contest, scores were tallied both for individuals and teams for class placings and oral reasons.

Rachel Scibek, Colchester; Catherine Thrasher, Rupert; and Kassidy Wyman, Cambridgeport; represented Vermont on the A Team.

For overall high score, as well as the team class placings and oral reasons, the A Team came in third. Kassidy was second high individual overall and the third-place finisher in individual class placings.

The B Team, which finished fourth overall, was comprised of

Kennedy Mitowski, Rutland; Katelyn Patenaude, Derby Line; and Sarah Rogers, Grafton. Team placings included first place in oral reasons and fourth in class placings. Katelyn took first in individual oral reasons.

In quiz bowl, the A Team, which included David Gringeri, West Haven; Kaelyn Jenny, Essex; Emma Pearson, North Hero; and Alexis Walker, Essex Junction, finished first. For individual high scores, Emma placed first and Kaelyn, second.

The B Team came in fourth. Team members were Betsy Coburn, Castleton; Beth McGranahan, Middletown Springs; and Brianna and Nichole Wardwell, both from Hartford.

Vermont also did well in hippology with the A Team taking first overall as well as in stations, team problem solving and the written phases of the competition. In the judging phase the team came in fourth.

Team members included Courtney Bronson, Shoreham (fourth in individual judging); Lexy Brooks, Whitehall, N.Y. (fourth overall and in individual written exam); Ruth Snow, Northfield, (fourth in individual stations) and Madison Wood, Concord, (first overall and in both the individual written exam and stations phase).

The B Team included Alexis Boyd, Fairfax; Gia Gould, South Burlington (fifth in individual judging); Lauren Whitehouse, Essex; and Lindsey Wood, Concord. The team placed fifth overall in competition with a fourth place in judging and stations and fifth place in both the written and team problem solving phases.

Nat’l organization recognizes VUHS students

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

VERGENNES — Principal Stephanie Taylor of Vergennes Union High School has announced that Hannah Hatch and Evan Myers have been named Commended Students in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program.

A letter of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corp., which conducts the program, was presented by the principal to the scholastically talented senior students.

“Jekyll and Hyde has become a catch phrase in the English language because it refers to something so true,” says MAW Artistic Director Melissa Lourie. “In this adaptation, Jeffrey Hatcher throws away corny images of man morphing into monster, and instead explores the issue of good and evil in an original and exciting way. Also, he writes a really good suspense story!”

Director Lourie leads a cast of some of Burlington’s finest actors, including Paul Ugalde, Jordan Gullikson, Patrick Clow, J. Louis Reid, Chris Caswell, & Marianne DiMascio. Middlebury actors Cody McGlashan and Kate Tilton round out the ensemble.

The design team includes costume designer MaryKay Dempewolff, set designer Ellie Friml and lighting designer Christopher Belanger. The original musical score composed by Peter Hamlin was supported by a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation.

Over 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

Although they will not continue in the 2015 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2015 competition by taking the 2013 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

“The VUHS young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” according to a statement by NMS. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as

the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they will continue their pursuit of academic success.”

Town moves ahead on rec center plans

MIDDLEBURY — A meeting last month of the Middlebury Town Offices & Recreation Facilities Building Committee Meeting included an award of contract for asbestos abatement at the former American Legion building on Creek Road in preparation for demolition.

Final construction drawings are nearing completion for both the new recreation facility at the site; it is anticipated that the project will be ready to go out to bid in late 2014 or early 2015.

The town engaged KD Associates to inspect and sample the Legion building site for hazardous materials which, by law, must be removed and properly disposed of before demolition.

Sampling found that asbestos is present in the building. Following a competitive process that yield three bid proposals, KD Associates recommended that the Select Board award the contract for asbestos abatement services to the low bidder, Levaggi Environmental Contracting, of Morrisville for a total of $8,975. The Board accepted the award recommendation.

Homeward Bound pets

Jessy is a lively, happy girl who loves to romp around and sits on command. She has passed through a couple of homes already in her young life and is ready to commit to someone for the long haul.

Although we have no known history of her experience with other animals or children, we have observed that she is eventempered and actually, a little bit afraid of cats.

She is easy to handle and likes to be treated gently and calmly as she has a submissive personality. She is likely to adapt well to a variety of homes as long as she is given time and structure to develop self-confidence.

A three way cover crop mix seeded with sidedress Urea in July at the Pouliot Farm...never a day without cover!

Friday, Oct. 31: Pouliot Farm, Jericho/Westford Join us as we take a look at some fantastic cover crops that were seeded into corn in July. Tony & Don Pouliot seeded a combination of annual ryegrass, white clover and forage radish mixed right in with their Urea at sidedress. They got a great catch, and now that the corn is off we can see how it survived the traffic during harvest, talk to the Pouliots about whether or not it competed with the corn, and see what they might change for next year. An added bonus...Tony will bring out their new (to them) Great Plains twin-row corn planter that they planted with for the first time this year.

Thursday, Nov. 6: Vorsteveld Farm, Panton The hosts of our Soil Health Field day in August welcome us back. We’ll get a better look at the cover crops that have been growing since mid-August, see the results of manure injection and wood ash applications and more. In addition, we’ll see how their winter rye, winter wheat, oat, radish cover crop is doing that they seeded immediately after corn harvest...and how that cover crop did after manure was injected right after seeding. We can also talk to the Vorstevelds about their ‘minimum till’ system they have been using on their very heavy clay soils.

Farmers trying new cover crop ways: see for yourself UVM Extension

MIDDLEBURY — For farmers and the UVM Extension Champlain Valley Crop, Soil & Pasture Team, it has been a busy cover cropping season. And this year the cropping season started early and ended late. The first cover crops were planted the first week of July, and thanks to a late corn harvest they are still be planted now in mid-October.

That’s right, farmers throughout the Champlain Valley have been trying their hand at new ways to establish a cover crop in their corn and soybean fields. They are trying new timings, new methods, and even new species. And its not just the farmers.

Our team here in Middlebury has been busy planting cover crop demonstrations and research trials on farms up and down the valley. With our warm (and now wet) fall weather, those cover crops are up and growing and we’d love for you to join us to kick the proverbial tires of these new cover cropping techniques.

More details to come...but here are the highlights of three upcoming Cover Crop Field Days.

Danforth and Gardener’s team on power, energy costs MIDDLEBURY – Danforth Pewter and Gardener’s Supply Company, two nationally recognized Vermont-based specialty companies, have turned to the sun for emission-free solar power.

Danforth Pewter is a family-owned fine pewter crafter based in Middlebury, Gardener’s Supply, headquartered in Burlington, is an employee-owned company providing environmentally friendly gardening products and information through its website, catalogs, and retail stores.

The two companies will share the output of the newly installed Vermont solar array.

The 144kW system, constructed on the Pulling Farm in Addison features dual axis AllSun Trackers, manufactured nearby in Williston, Vt. by AllEarth Renewables and a Power Purchase Agreement by SolarSense, LLC, a provider of clean, reliable and affordable power.

The ground-mounted solar systems, installed under Green Mountain Power’s net metering program, will provide emissions-free, net metered solar electricity for each company at below-market rates. The project was constructed utilizing AllSun Trackers, which track the sun throughout the day to maximize

energy production, and SunPower solar panels, the most efficient solar panel commercially available.

As part of the project, SolarSense will also grant a Vermont Make-A-Wish child his or her wish as part of their “Watts for Wishes” charitable giving program.

“AllEarth Renewables and SolarSense made it really easy for Danforth to become, as far as we know, the world’s first solarpowered pewter workshop,” said Bram Kleppner, CEO of Danforth Pewter. “We have been working on reducing our impact on the environment for a long time, and the creation of this solar farm allowed us to wipe out most of our electric energy carbon emissions in one fell swoop.Since the solar project is sited on land owned by one of our employees, this project really hit a sweet spot: Danforth gets reduced electricity costs, the employee who’s hosting the installation reduces her power bills more or less to zero, and the atmosphere stays a little cleaner. The fact that we’re partnering with our friends at Gardener’s Supply as we both convert our businesses to renewable energy just makes it that much sweeter.”

Big Barn Grazers, LLC, a Georgia, Vt., company formed by two of the largest maple sugar families in Vermont, is creating a new line of beverages as well as two new Vermont partnerships.

Starting in November, Vermont consumers will be able to quench their thirst with tasty and healthy beverages that are truly a unique Vermont experience.

The main ingredient in TreTap is water that flows from the trees during the syrup season.

Once the sap is collected from the Maple Trees it is brought into our sugar houses.

“We are proud to join the Branon Family, a seventh generation Vermont maple sugaring family, to create a new industry for Vermont maple syrup producers. We are using the bi-product of our

organic maple myrup, maple water, that has been discarded for generations, into great tasting and healthy drinks, These drinks are examples of healthy Vermont products we want our families to be raised consuming,” said Kevin Harrison.

Harrison said the company separates the water from the sap.

“We then convert the sap into syrup, while we have discarded the water. We are now using the pristine and refreshing water and making amazing beverages. The tastes are light, refreshing and balanced and most importantly are good for you,’ he said.

TreTap Beverages will be offered in three carbonated flavors.

“Low in calorie, low in sugar count TreTap plans to make a big splash in the Flavored Carbonated Water market. It is differentiated by the fact that the most important ingredient: the water,

comes from organic maple trees. The beverages will be sold in stunning 12 ounce aluminum with rich artwork that reflects the balance, rich taste and low calorie and low sugar that TreTap Beverages represents,” according to Harrison.

TreTap is partnering with two icons in the historic Vermont beverage landscape: Vermont Hard Cider, known for its Woodchuck brand, has partnered with Big Barn Grazers to get the final TreTap liquid into cans.

For 22 years, now foreign-owned Woodchuck, based in Middlebury, has pioneered innovative cider styles that had never before been tried in the United States, or the world for that matter.

Similarly, Harrison noted, TreTap is partnering with Farrell Distributing of South Burlington. Farrell has been the premier beverage distributor in Vermont for generations. For more than three-quarters of a century, they have been bringing the highest quality beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages to retailers throughout Vermont, catering to customers.

“With our new launch of products, we hope to be in more retailers across the state to give consumers the chance to try all 3 flavors and tell us which they enjoy the most,” Harrison said.

Middlebury artist Gary Starr’s stunning decoy bird art

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — Meet veteran Vermont bird artist and master craftsman Gary Starr who has a large following of collectors and fans interested not only in his exquisite decoys but also his unique line of handmade bird ornaments.

Since 1977, Starr has followed in his famous father’s footsteps—and artisan’s talent—in the world of bird decoy modeling and painting.

Starr Decoys is headquartered in a late 19th-century post-andbeam barn located behind the artist’s residence at 782 Weybridge Rd. on the Middlebury-Weybridge townline. Visitors are asked to contact the artist before dropping by, although Starr is always happy to show his art which is available at the studio or online— via the artist’s website—to serious buyers.

“I started Starr Decoys outside Middlebury in Weybridge in 1987,” Starr says. “My style evolved from my father’s influence and reflects the clean lines of traditional hunting decoys. I carved my first bird, a miniature black duck, with my father, Dr. George Ross Starr, in 1956 at nine years old. My father collected over 2,000 decoys in Duxbury, Mass., where he wrote the book, ‘Decoys of the Atlantic Flyway’”—a modern classic on the subject.

In addition to decoys, the Gary Starr Carved Bird Collection, which the artist started in 1992, now consists of 69 species; it is probably among his most popular output.

“On the flat back of each ornament, I identify, brand, date, and sign each piece,” Starr says. “A number of my other decorative carvings are listed by type on the left hand tabs. I have recently lost effective use of my left eye and I am in the process of discontinuing the larger birds and fish. Every piece is made of Vermont basswood.”

But beyond the beautifully wrought bird ornaments—which are ideal as gifts at Christmas and on other occasions—the artist’s wildlife corpus is as vast as it is varied.

You must take a look at Starr’s beautiful waterfowl decoy work— “Waterfowl decoys are a traditional, functional American art form, often described as floating sculpture,” he says. “American indians and watermen fashioned decoys out of reeds, clay, skins, and wood to lure ducks into range. It became clear that the more lifelike the decoy, the better the hunting results. Watermen, hunters were close observers of their enviorment and the better carvers learned to adopt the ducks natural attitude to their carvings.

“Each carver evolves his or her own style depending upon personnal preference, local tradition and hunting conditions.

Knowledgeable collectors can identify regions and specific carvers from the finished product.”

In keeping with his philosophy of local sourcing whenever possible, most of Starr’s “Vermont basswood,” which comes from the New England linden tree, is derived from private woodland

method mimics Mother Nature’s palette as closely as possible.

Like most Vermont and North Country homeowners, Starr likes to keep his birdfeeders well stocked so he can watch the local species up close.

He places seed and nectar feeders to bring birds to his backyard “We attract the normal characters—redbreasted grosbeaks, bluejays, chickadees, gold finches, purple finches, hummingbirds,” he says.

So, among all the birds in his life, what is the favorite bird of this skilled decoy artist?

“Well, that’s a tough one, but I’d have to say my overall favorite bird is the Himalayan monal,” Starr admits. “It’s like a small turkey and it’s colored, almost like a hummingbird—with all these beautiful, multiple colors. The bird can fly but it mostly stays on the ground. I’ve seen monals in the Kingdom of Bhutan running around on the snow pack. It’s probably the most spectacular bird I’ve ever seen.”

Starr Decoys consumes about 1,500 board feet of basswood per year.

While he hasn’t hunted in 10 years, Starr said sportsmen still treasure handmade decoys—if they still happen to use them.

“If you’re out there in November and a storm comes up, you might not be able to retrieve all your handmade decoys,’ he says. “But decoys are less of an investment for today’s sportsmen; a lot of hunters use plastic decoys now— they’re getting to be quite good and very sophisticated.” Time and technology marches on, even in the world of bird hunting.

Starr begins his handmade decoy and ornament design process with an old-fashioned pencil sketch. Later, he tests paints on the sketches alonside the bird’s natural coloring. The
